i literally use arch linux and popos lmao

I hated windows then i fall into mac OS.. now im looking for Linux and this distro looks amazing

Ghostty - the terminal version of scientology

one config file... so every other modern terminal

Ghosty feels like a problem looking for a solution

fellow Berkeley Mono Enjoyer :P

at that point just use an idle. why so many plugins

so when will it be released exactly? they said Dec but still no information about release date

How does it perform in comparison with WezTerm?

it's all good but ig if you just crave a fancy terminal you can get it with oh-my-posh, i mean it's a pretty solid terminal!

The ability to list the fonts so you what name to use is a serious life improvement for me. I always have to play whack-a-mole guessing variations.

alacritty developers are bunch of morons that refuses to provide example configuration lmao

Thumbs down for Alacritty pronunciation.

you can just use fzf-lua instead of telescope and telescope-fzf, a lot of people have pointed out that fzf-lua is faster than telescope for larger projects too

i use pop btw

Measuring productivity by lines of code makes about as much sense as evaluating football players by counting their number of footsteps during the match. (By that logic, the goalkeeper must be borderline useless.) Just like running distance is not the objective in a football match, and it's not directly proportional to the outcome, churning out a lot - or very little - of code isn't a sensible metric for actual productivity, Like Bill Gates once said. "measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight." The number of useless software engineers may be higher than "9.5%" for all I know, but that's unrelated to the amount of submitted code. Software development is not a sausage factory.

The title is just ... boom! This is the last month of 2024, and Vimscript isn't dead yet, in fact, some maintainers of Neovim like justinmk still use Vimscript to configure Neovim

Even if you are in meetings understanding requirements, working with stakeholders, building understanding within the business, you may not be the person who writes the code. You may also spend a lot of time exploring possible solutions that don't ever get written, because you ruled that out and saved the business time and money implementing something that won't meet the requirements. This is so short sighted, and every engineer can immediately see the problem with it. The biggest problem is that writing code is the easy part. I haven't written code (at least any that will see a PR) in a week, and it's been really stressful because of the other stuff I have been spending my time doing. Someone who's raising a bunch of PRs is probably not being productive. It's more likely they're bored.

I have been using ghostty for about three weeks now myself, I use it on arch hyprland. It is very native feeling there as well.

I know a lot of sys admns do nothing but play games all day. Especially the ones in management or the ones who are solely in charge of systens, like those in small schools. They sit there and play wow till a problem comes up.

Way higher in gov contracting. Don't need a study. I lived it 23 years. It's all about incentives there

The problem is you can't measure engineer productivity. especially for senior devs who are in meetings / pair programming and digging into the hard bugs. A ticket is easily 99% finding where the hell to change one line. The code itself the end result is almost nothing. Did the engineer do nothing? No. But you can't measure it

I just want to leave without writing any comment. <goes invisible >

Just so eveyone knows this is NOT a peer reviewed or published study with literally no documented historical data or links to specific methodologies used to come up with this number. Also the datasets mentioned are estimates which use NO REAL COMPANY DATA and uses odd metrics such as code quality of non company data and commits that are not weighted with any real financial or industrial impact whatsover related to no actual company internal data or information or code. This article is snakeoil in order to attempt to go virial for an MBA that doesnt work in any feild or company and only at a university to gain noteriaty - basiclaly he just made up a viral sounding term and made some slideshows with magic projections with no datasets to back it up, no strict or even validated methodologies, no underlying publicly assesible paper, no sources, no publication, and no university backing for the validity of his "study"

Wasted 2 hours today and wasn't able to get two steam games to launch that launched fine in Mint. Shame. Also Xbox dongle failed to install. Followed their instructions. No such command it said Also it had no Discover or flatpak app store. They removed it recently I guess?

Where’s the course link take my minimum wage income money I’d like to be one of those please

Where can I subscribe to become a ghost software engineer?

This just seems like a hit on remote work and "trim the fat" mindset which is becoming popular. I wonder who funded or bought the research.

Windows is only for the SHEEP!!

FEDORA IS UP TO VERSION 41 !! Nobara is behind the times, now. I went to their site and it says it is basically Not to be taken seriously. It is a HOBBYIST desktop. WHAT??

I'm gonna be honest, haven't watched the video you mentioned about how that research was done. With that being said, I completely agree with you, but I also don't understand why this thing has become so popular lately. I'm in engineering since 2021 and I've heard about this right from the start, that in big companies, there are people who get away with not doing anything. So idk, for me these news are 4 years late really

20% of the remaining 90% do everything.

Stfu about people being over employeed. The day elon musk stops managing 5 different companies and is praised for it is the day i lll start feeling guilty for having two jobs. Go f urself

I don't think multiple jobs is illegal as long as you don't break any conditions in your different contacts. Oh and pay taxes

Why am I just now realizing at 42, that I should have been a software engineer? I like this stuff

Why are all these terminal emulators run by a**holes? WezTerm broke the mold, he's nice and polite, but wezterm feels like a 3/4 finished terminal that you have to complete yourself by writing lots of Lua - at least that was my experience.

can't wait for it to release in dec!

I'm not seeing anything that I'm not already getting from a simple terminal emulator like foot. Gpu acceleration seems nice, until your GPU driver have a bug and suddenly, your terminal stops working. At the same time, even though I have been almost exclusively living in the terminal for the past five years, I cannot say I have noticed any advantage in GPU accelerated terminal emulators over foot. The only advantage, I see here is that foot is for Wayland only. Seeing as Linux is moving towards Wayland, I say that the claim over ubiquity of ghostty is a bit of an exaggeration seeing as the heaviest terminal users are in Linux. There might be something to ghostty that I would appreciate, but honestly most of the points in this video does not seem that convincing for me.

Does it allow key modifiers like item2 does ??? I swap ctrl key with cmd key on the left..

>nice configuration >config through a file bruh

So it's just a kitty clone written in zig?(Jk jk) I say this because of the list-fonts command

How is this terminal better than Warp? I've been using Warp for more than a year and it is brutal how far better it is from any other terminal. I just saw your review and I don't think it is better then Warp.

Hey John, what is your camera set up?

Maybe it will tempt me away from st...

"sane CLI" ... ghostty +list-fonts None of the CLIs tools I use, there is a + in front of a command. These tools here but not limited to: gh, rg, fd, bat, lazigit, fzf , jq, zoxide and many others...

I was planning to take a look at it when it is released Dec/2024 and I use Linux. Ya, the Alacritty config file format switch from yaml to toml messed me up but had to tinker to get it to work properly. Thank you for a key points overview,this will help us all decide whether to switch to it.

wezterm ftw

I recently switched terminals as well. For me, it was from Konsole to WezTerm. I had used Konsole for something like 20 years. I use a Gnome based desktop these days, and would still pull in a large number of KDE dependencies, just to have Konsole. But Konsole has started picking up some quirks over the last couple of years, related to font rendering and dark theme (maybe due to KDE Plasma rewrites) so it was time to move on. I did a bit of research. Alacritty's lack of tabs made it a non-option for me. Kitty is written in Python, with some C mixed in, which is definitely weird for a terminal emulator. WezTerm was written in Rust, and uses Lua for the configuration, which are both positives for me.

i think Cachy Os is also good choice for gaming,better or worse i just can not say both Os are optymized for gaming out of the box

Does it support tmux -CC? This is the only reason why I don’t leave iterm
